DAILY MATH REVIEWUpdate and Showcase

Daily Math Review Update

October 3rd District PLC: • Grade 3 – 5 teachers collaborated on Daily Math Review at 9

different locations.

• All teachers received a consistent message about the purpose and expectation of Daily Math Review.

• Teachers had an opportunity practice Daily Math Review.

• Grade level teams began to create a prioritized list of categories (concepts in which students frequently have misconceptions)

Daily Math Review Update

October 3rd District PLC

Daily Math Review Update

Expectation:By the end of 1st Semester, ALL grade 3 – 5 teachers will be implementing Daily Math Review with fidelity.

Non-Negotiables:• Student collaboration

• Process/Error Analysis

• Reflection

Daily Math Review Update

Common Questions:1. Do my students have to write down the questions?

2. Daily Math Review is taking more than 15 – 20 minutes – how do I make it quicker?

3. We created a list of categories on the Google Doc, but what if I identify a need during the year that is not on my list?

4. How can I differentiate Daily Math Review?

5. Do I need to follow the script exactly?

6. What if there is more than one way to solve a problem? How do I show all the ways?

Common Questions:

6. What if there is more than one way to solve a problem? How do I show all the ways?

7. I am CGI trained. Can I use the principles of CGI in Daily Math Review?

8. Why doesn’t the district provide the categories, questions and key statements?

9. Are all of my Special Education students excluded from the 90%

Daily Math Review Showcase

Video + Examples

Daily Math Review Next Steps

PHASE ONE PHASE TWO• Establishing a routine

• DMR Assessment every 2 weeks

• Partner work

• Error Analysis

• Reflection

• Phase One Plus…

• Student - Led

• Bonus Question

• Partner Talk Sentence Starters

Daily Math Review Next Steps

Look Fors:

Expectation: ALL grade 3 – 5 teachers are implementing Daily Math Review by the end of the first semester with fidelity.

List of ‘Look-Fors’ to use to provide teachers with support and specific feedback to implement Daily Math Review with fidelity by the end of the first semester.

Daily Math Review Next Steps

October 31st District PLC• Address Common Questions

• Purpose + Examples v. Non Examples

• The facilitator will go from start to finish as an example in creating a DMR Cycle (Category, 9 problems, key statement, reflection, assessment)

• Each team will create one cycle

Expectation: Every teacher will complete one full cycle with their students before the November 28th District PLC Meeting. Teachers will bring copies of their completed DMR cycle.

Math Needs Inventory

Des Moines Public Schools Mathematics Expectations: All students are able to demonstrate mastery of the rigorous Common Core State Standards which will increase Algebra readiness.  Each school, each teacher in the district greatly contributes towards this goal. DMPS needs to provide teachers with the best tools to accomplish this goal.  This inventory is simply to create a baseline of our current reality in elementary mathematics. In order to move forward, we need to have an honest look at where we are currently. This inventory is intended for the principal and instructional coach to fill out collaboratively.

Math Needs Inventory

We are a team. We must paint a clear picture and move to provide teachers the very best resources, professional development and instructional design supports in the area of the Common Core State Standards and the Balanced Math Framework.

1. Go to the Elementary Math Website Homepage: http://elementarymath.dmschools.org/

2. Download the Math Needs Inventory listed on the homepage.

3. Complete the Inventory and then email it to Anna Taggart. (Subject - Math Inventory: School Name)

4. Go back to the homepage and log on to the Google Doc to sign up for a time for Anna Taggart to come for a School Visit to discuss the Math Needs Inventory.

5. Go back to the homepage and click on the link to fill out the survey about today’s Teaching and Learning Meeting.
